Our hearts and our prayers go out to the entire Duling family for the loss we share with them. Ray was a dear friend who made a better world for all those who came in contact with him. He always had time for someone in need of his time, his help, or his advice. Words cannot express the void he will leave in our lives and the lives of many. We will miss his wit, his humor, and most of all his friendship.
To the Duling Family: My condolences on the passing of Ray. In the time that I did work for him and you I truly enjoyed his attitude toward life. I know you will all miss him greatly.
Mrs Duling, Sons & Daughters You probably already know but it must be said that Raymond had avery important & major role in my life & the life of my wife & two sons. Raymaond was my fist customer after we moved to Wichita in October of 1971. From that date on Raymond was my mentor in the business. He will long be remember as our friend and confidant who and an Irishman we loved. Hardly a March 17th passed went by that Raymond and I didn’t visit and discuss what it meant being Irish. Our hearts are burdened by you loss of your loved one and our loss of a great friend. May God bless each of you. May the road rise to meet you may the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall soft upon you fields And until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand. Paddy & Sylvia, Don & Sheila & Clayton & Tami McCullough

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Ray. Please accept our thoughts and prayers. Our father and mother, John and Nova McDaniel, spoke often about Ray and Winona.

We have drawn much strength from the memories of our mom and dad, and know you will be blessed with the wonderful memory of Ray. Our very best wishes – Kaye and Paul Walker, Joan and Terry Ossman Daughters and Sons-in-Law of John and Nova
